Late Night Laps

My day today began by waking up on a pull out couch in my dayclothes. You can tell it's going to be a good day when that happens!

Last night after work I went to the tail end of a friend's birthday party. It was a bit of a drive and by the time the party wound down it was late, so I decided to sleep there and drive back in the morning. Then after waking up I was informed of the incredible ice storm CT was forecasted to have; yay! Everyone still at the apartment either had work canceled or called off - I on the other hand packed myself up, drove home, got ready, and went to work. It doesn't help that I currently work as a door-to-door marketing associate.

Anyways, I braved the cold, rain, and ice, and made it through my day at work. After I got out, I rushed home, changed, grabbed my gym bag, and sped down to the gym. I managed to get 1500 yards (0.85 miles) in within a thirty minutes; not bad if I do say so myself. I certainly could have used more of a cool down and possible a bit slower of a build up early in the workout, but when the gym closes 45 minutes after you arrive, there's only so much you can do. If I can get myself up tomorrow, I'm hoping to get a short lifting workout in before a full swim workout.

Who Is This Guy?

Great question! My name's Kurt. I am a 3x Ironman, an ultrarunner, personal trainer (NASM), running coach (RRCA), and triathlon coach. I started this blog at the beginning of my triathlon journey in 2010 as a way to document my experiences to becoming an Ironman. That goal changed my life and every step continues to reveal new surprises. I keep pushing the boundaries to see where I can go. Occasionally I stop in to document it.
